SREDIŠČE RIBNICE
Miklova hiša je podobo, ki jo ima še danes, dobila leta 1991. Ta velika podkletena enonadstropna hiša, ki stoji na živi skali, je bila sicer pozidana že v 19. stoletju. Najverjetneje je bil njen arhitekt Italijan Antonio Frucco, veliko gradnje pa je opravil njen prvotni lastnik Anton Arko iz rodu Miklovih.
Stavba je vogalna in gleda na glavno ribniško ulico. Ima rumenkasto fasado z belimi okni in vrati, vsebuje pa tudi nekatere neorenesančne elemente. Okna imajo polkna in so razporejena po pet na glavni strani stavbe in po 6 na stranski. Nad pritličnimi okni so upodobljene rozete, pod okni v prvem nadstropju pa rombi. V hišo vodijo s preprostimi reliefi okrašena vhodna vrata z veliko kljuko in profiliranim nadstreškom. Notranjost je obokana. Zaradi velikih prostorov, visokih stropov ter širokih vrat in lesenih stopnic daje občutek odprtosti in povezanosti.
Zgradba je v preteklosti pripadala družini Arko, ki je tukaj razvijala obrt. V pritličnih prostorih so imeli pekarno in gostilno. Hišo so do 2. svetovne vojne dobro vzdrževali, po koncu vojne pa je začela propadati. Ko se je leta 1987 začela pojavljati ideja po kulturno-turističnem centru, so za stavbo, verjetno zaradi njene zgodovine in lege v centru mesta, izbrali prav Miklovo hišo. Zadolžena arhitekta Božidar Rot in Staša Blažič ter zgodovinarka Mojca Arh so začeli s prenovo v letu 1989, v 90-ih letih so sem preselili tudi galerijo in knjižnico, ki sta tukaj še danes.
Stavba s svojo rumenkasto zunanjostjo in belimi okni daje toplino, lep sijaj in s tem privablja Ribničane. Prav tako pa z velikim številom oken bralcem in umetniškim navdušencem daje možnost, da lahko berejo in gledajo umetnine ob naravni svetlobi. Miklova hiša je fizično in duhovno središče ribniške kulture. Je mesto, kjer se Ribničani učijo o svoji kulturni dediščini, se spoznavajo z umetninami lokalnih umetnikov in si širijo obzorje z branjem knjig.

MIKLOVA HIŠA (The House of Miklovi)
THE CENTRE OF RIBNICA
Miklova hiša got its current look in 1991. This big single-storey building with a cellar, was built on rocky ground in the 19th century. Most likely, its architect was an Italian named Antonio Frucco, but most of the construction was done by its first owner Anton Arko of the family Miklovi.
The corner building is located in the main street of Ribnica. Its facade is yellowish, it has white windows and doors and also contains some Neorenaissance elements. There are 5 windows with shutters at the front and 6 on the side of the building. There are rosettes depicted above the ground floor windows and rhombs under the first floor windows. A white door with simple reliefs, a profiled canopy and a big doorknob lead into an arched interior of the house. Its big rooms, high ceilings, wide doors and stairs give the feeling of openness and connectedness.
In the past, Miklova hiša belonged to family Arko, which developed a trade in the area. In the ground floor they had a bakery and a village inn. The house was well preserved until World War II, but after that, it started to decay. When an idea for a cultural-tourist centre appeared in 1987, Miklova hiša was the chosen building for it. The main reason was probably because of its location in the town center and its history. The chosen architects Božidar Rot and Staša Blažič, and also the historian Mojca Arh started the renovation in 1989. In the 1990s the gallery and the library moved into the building where they are still today.
The building’s yellowish exterior and white windows give the feeling of warmth, shine, which attracts residents of Ribnica. Plentiful windows give readers and art enthusiasts an ability to read and observe works of art under natural light. Miklova hiša is the physical and spiritual heart of the Ribnica culture. It is a place where people of Ribnica learn about their cultural heritage, get acquainted with artworks of local artists and extend their horizons with reading books.
